Billy Porter and ‘Pose’ embody a singular moment in LGBTQ history – KAKE

FX’s series “Pose” is one of those vehicles for storytelling. The Ryan Murphy series, in its third and final season, follows Black and Latinx youth in New York’s underground ballroom scene during the 1980s and 1990s. The ballroom scene encompasses fashion, dance, creativity and, most important, family and community. During the era “Pose” depicts, ballroom was often a refuge from violent homophobia and racism.
